County Superintendent Graham Is
preparing the data for the issuance
of the school bonds heretofore author
ized by the county court. Under tlie
resolution of the court these bonds
are lo be issued for certain school
houses with the proviso in the case
of a majority of them, that the citi
zens of the communities shall supple
ment thecounty appropriation by the
gift of certain specified sums. Before
the bonds can bo issued for those
buildings it is necessary that the sub
scriptions made shall be pafd or guar
anteed. If In somo of the communi
ties the subscriptions are not collect
able now. or for any reason are in
longer to be counted as assets the
committees in charge are urged by
Superintendent Graham to arrange
for subscriptions to lake their pljces.
Only in this way can the bond issues
authorized be made.
Cnder the resolution of the county
court the expenses for issuing ' the
bonds, which include cost of advertis
ing, lithographing, etc., must likewise
be shared by the communities in inter
est proportionate to the amounts im
propriated to them. The amount of
such expnese is to be estimated by
the county superintendent and he
must have the guarantees of the sev
eral communities that theywlll be
met before the expenses can be in-

the sfamo rules which applied to giv-
ing Service at the front, applied in the
shop also, and that the only real way
! e( ."tving real service was for every
department to pull together with a
good strong pull.
I Frank 1'ale, who recently became
Tssoeiated with the organization told
of the value of systematizing any bus
iness, lie said some system should
be adopted, which would tell at a
glance what departments are losing
money and what departments milking
money. When that is known the
management knows how to go lbout
remedying the sit nation when a loss
is shown.
Judge John W. Fry discussed "Ser
vice" and briefly outlined the progress
of the business since its organization.
He declared that the men who made
up the working force of the organi
zation were its greatest assets, and
Uiat. by giving good service to custo-
an estimate of those expenses
In two or three of the communities,
notably McCror'y's and Rally 1111, in
the third district, the citizens have
erected the houses. They have put
up their subscriptions and in siadi-
tionhave 'guaranteed the "payment" of
that portion appropriated by the coun
ty. They will, o course, lie reim
bursed when the bonds are sold. This
is also the case at Sandy Hook with
the school that was authorized there.
It. is estimated that, something like
$75,000 or' $S0,000 of the bonds that
have been authorized will be sold nt
the first offering.

Columbia stores,, shops,, factories
and mills are In fine shape and only
one violation of the shop and facto
ry inspection laws of tlie at ate was
discovered by ll K. Woodward, depu
ty Inspector of tho state, who has just
completed an inspection of the city.
This,, Mr. Woodward said, was in
marked contrast to conditions which
he found a year ago on his former in
spection. At that time there were
about .twenty or more violations of
some provision of the law.
In no town of tho slate are ennui
tions better with respect to the law
governing workshops and factories
than he found in Columbia. Since his
last Inspection several concerns have
opened and come under the opera
tions of the law but. Mr. Woodward
found that all of them were comply
ing with its provisions.
The concerns are inspected with a
view to their sanitation, safety and j
employment of child and female !a-
bor. There is not a great deal of i
rehiid labor employed in Columbia i
and the employers are strictly observ
ing tho requirements with reference
to the law. The same is true of the
female labor, which ns employed very
largely here. Mr
